10 Ore Cars - 2 Mucking Machines - Hoist Room - Skip Car - Cage - Square Sets - Slusher - Dynamite

This mine has more equipment underground than any other that we have seen. This is a very dangerous mine to be in due to the unstable and brittle nature of talc. There is also a massive cave-in that has taken place recently, making access to the lowest part of the mine all but impossible.
There are 10 ore cars, 2 Eimco 12B mucking machines, a fully intact hoist room, an elevator, (which in mining terms is called a cage) a beautiful skip car still in place with the corresponding hoist, a double drum slusher winch with the drag bucket, numerous sticks of dynamite randomly laying around and some beautiful square-set timbering. All this is scattered throughout this six level talc mine. This mine is so intact that it looks like the miners could have just left last week. It's a very challenging mine to explore with numerous ladders that are necessary to climb to access all the different levels.
This video is the culmination of five different trips to the mine spanning three years that Julie and I made, the last one being accompanied by a few of our other mine exploring friends. Much of this video footage has been released before but never in a single video compilation. We hope you enjoy the video of this extraordinary mine!

Woodworking, is more than digging holes. State Fair is on. Hear the grandstand fireworks at night. Thank you, for entertaining us. St.Paul, Minnesota.

I'm always amazed at the equipment left behind. There must be thousands of dollars of usable machines just waiting to be buried in a collapse. Some of the square set was pretty darned spectacular. Thanks for taking us on your explore.

Tom and Julie, you’ve done it again! What an extensive experience watching you and friends exploring this massive mine with all the areas filled with equipment and the cage, and the main work area! All the collapsed structures and especially the sampling bins. You kept my eyes glued to your video waiting to see what you find next. The orecarts were all in great condition and the mucking machine, glad you had a great time and now off to another adventure! I’ll always tell you to be safe in your travels, so glad I caught this one! Take care 😀

Wow, what a score!!! With all that timbering, they must have been making good money to pay for all that. Super extra special icing on the cake: square set timbering, intact hoist room, elevator with attached ore bin, winches, lots of ore cars, muckers, slush bucket, cave-in, nasty busted timbers; well, you get the idea. Nice to see Tom, Julie, and friends!

[jimmime]

WOW! Great find indeed! Thank you, Tom & Julie, fantastic old mine!

[rogers]

I remember watching your previous episodes of this mine, it is one of my favorites! The equipment and artifacts are incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[billperkins]

Wow, just wow. I haven’t seen equipment that that underground in along time. Thanks for sharing with us.

[pmae]

Sometimes all you can say is WOW, that there is a hole with holes. I can only guess how dusty and gritty that was when it was being worked. I am so amazed by the volume and quality of the timbering and its assembly, again, WOW. thank you for the look down under.

[davidsnider]

Wow great mine. Dusty yikes. Fortune in lumber down there. 2 muckers. Unheard of. Thanks for taking us along

[highdesertbill]

Great video Thank you fir taking me along.

[helenferris]

Greetings, Tom and Julie. Thank you for another excellent video. Those collapsed timbers are frightening. They definitely would not be described as spindly and there they are, collapsed to and fro as if they are straws. ... Your time and work are always appreciated. Keep well.

[ralphpatrick]

Excellent explore of a modern mine! I loved it! Thanks, T&J!!!

[jeffchandler]

Happy Labor Day weekend Tom and Julie!

[TheShornak]

Wow lots of artifactes in this mine still. Nice to see it hasn't been looted yet. Great video

[moparedtn]

*T&J!*
Wow, all those artifacts in the same place! It does look like they just stopped mining one day
(maybe after a collapse?) in 1973. So much to unpack in this video, thanks!

Thank you Tom and Julie. What an awesome explore great find stay safe out there. They must of had plans to come back there to mine more. 👍👍🍺🍺🍻🍻

[KERNOW]

Awesome! Fantastic artefacts and such impressive timbering. Great that you compiled these separate visits into one. Works really well. Outstanding, thanks!

[chillislives]

This is a big bonus!

I'd never go in a talk mine unless T&J are there.
